At noon, Yang Yang took a private plane to Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

At this time, many media reporters and fans who heard the news had already gathered in the airport, but Yang Yang did not meet them, but took Liverpool's car directly from the special passage and headed to Anfield Stadium.

Although it is not a match day and another working day, Anfield Stadium still gathers nearly 10,000 Liverpool fans.

This was not only far beyond Yang Yang's expectations, but even Liverpool general manager Rick Parry, who was in charge of organizing the celebration, was surprised. They originally guessed that at most, there were two or three thousand people.

But I didn't expect that Liverpool fans would be so enthusiastic.

The fans who rushed into Anfield blocked the surrounding roads, which looked like a match was about to be held in Anfield at noon. When they saw Liverpool's reception car passing by, they all shouted Yang Yang's name, and some fans even chased behind the car.

Yang Yang sat in the back row of the car and felt the enthusiasm of the fans around him and his love for him. He was really flattered.

As a player, he always felt that he had just done his duty, but he was praised and loved by fans, both in Ajax and Liverpool, which made him even more afraid to slacket off.

"See, many people outside are wearing your No. 11 jersey." Raiola, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned his head, pointed to the fans outside the car window, and smiled at Yang Yang.

After hearing this, Yang Yang looked carefully and found that it was true.

"I heard that in recent days, Liverpool's local jerseys have been sold out. Adidas temporarily transferred a batch of goods and was immediately sold out. Many fans are rushing to buy jerseys, and they must ask to burn your number and name. This is also a commemoration for them."

Speaking of this, Raiola smiled slightly and said, "There is not even a jersey in the Anfield fan store in front of me, which has caused many fans to go to complain to the club's fan service department."

Yang Yang couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know what to say about this situation.

"The last time a player in Liverpool won the Golden Globes was in 2001. Michael Irving, the pride of heaven, won the European Golden Globes with his many cup championships that year, but Liverpool did not hold such a sensational celebration at that time."

"This time, in addition to fans, Liverpool's mayor and senior executives will also come to the scene, and two American bosses will also come. In addition, the arrival of many British media and TV stations, the influence of this celebration will not be small. Liverpool is going to take this opportunity to show your importance to you, and this is also a kind of momentum."

The reason for building momentum is very simple. Next, there is a more important personal award waiting for Yang Yang.

That is the World Footballer!

That is the real highlight.

Not long ago, FIFA announced the top three footballers in the world, and Yang Yang and Kaka were shortlisted for the top three. There was no suspense. But surprisingly, the person who got the third ticket was Barcelona's Messi.

I have to say that this is indeed a surprise, because Cristiano Ronaldo's performance last season was even better than Messi, and Manchester United also entered the Champions League semi-finals in addition to the Premier League championship.

No matter from which perspective, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have more reason to be shortlisted.

But sometimes it's like this, Messi enters the top three.

Of course, Yang Yang does not think Messi is not worthy or is not at this level, because at this level, there is not much difference between them, and it is difficult to say who enters and who fails.

But in terms of performance, Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed more promising, including personal data.

I believe that Messi's entry into the top three has a lot to do with his background in Argentina, his three consecutive goals in the final stage of last season, and his five consecutive players against Getafe.

Also, top giants like Barcelona are trying their best to promote behind the scenes.

If nothing else, which player who can play for Barcelona does not play a vital role in their respective national teams? Some are even directly captains of the national team and have the right to vote.

Therefore, top wealthy families still have quite an advantage in this regard.

This reminds Yang Yang that he must be careful, and he has no chance of winning until the last moment.

At least, Kaka's background and the platform he is located are a little higher than Yang Yang.

…………

When Yang Yang, wearing a Liverpool jersey, appeared at Anfield Stadium with the European Golden Ball Awards, more than 10,000 fans had gathered in the stadium. Although there were a lot of people in the stands, the momentum was very loud.

All those who can come to the scene to celebrate Yang Yang at this time are hardcore fans of Liverpool and Yang Yang.

A simple stage was specially set up in the middle of the stadium, and Benitez had already stood on it with Liverpool players.

Yang Yang quickly walked onto the stage, hugged the coaching staff, teammates and staff one by one, thanking them for coming to celebrate for themselves, and then shook hands with Rick Parry, the two American bosses, and Liverpool Mayor and other guests.

When Yang Yang finally stood on the stage and held up the European Golden Globe Awards with both hands, the audience exclaimed deafening cheers.

From now on, Liverpool will have the second European Golden Ball Award!

Even, however, they will likely have the first World Footballer in Liverpool and Premier League history!

This made all the fans at the scene feel extremely excited.

Yang Yang’s honor is the glory of Liverpool and their fans!

Feeling the fanatical atmosphere at the scene, Yang Yang was also very excited. He walked to the microphone and thanked all the fans in a trembling voice.

"For me, it is a great honor to bring the European Ballon d'Or to Anfield and share it with you. Here, I would like to sincerely thank the coaches, teammates, the club's management and all staff, and to everyone, and to all Liverpool fans."

"It not only belongs to me, it also belongs to everyone, to everyone in Liverpool!"

Yang Yang's emotional speech once again brought him extremely warm applause and cheers.

...

Anfield's celebration lasted for an hour.

Afterwards, Liverpool held a luncheon at the St. Thomas Hotel, which was responsible for entertaining all the guests, media reporters, and clubs, but the two American bosses left early after attending the celebration.

They have not been in a good situation recently.

The US subprime mortgage crisis is getting worse and worse. Both of their wealth is said to have shrunk significantly. When they acquired Liverpool, they used the same method as the Glazer family and borrowed a lot of debts. They then threatened to build a new stadium for Liverpool and introduce superstars, but neither of them was fulfilled, and the new stadium project was forced to be temporarily shelved.

During this winter break, Mourinho hopes to sign ups and win the league championship this season, fulfilling Liverpool's long-cherished wishes over the years, but the two American bosses seem unwilling to do so, and they are also unhappy with Benitez.

Previously, there were even rumors outside that the two American bosses were quite dissatisfied with Benitez and wanted to replace Benitez with Mourinho, but with Liverpool's recent recovery in form, everyone stopped mentioning this matter.

Under such circumstances, it is already very worthy of Yang Yang's face to be able to attend the celebration ceremony.

After the lunch at the St. Thomas Hotel, Yang Yang still couldn't stay idle.

After half an hour of rest, he went to attend a celebration of Liverpool's main sponsor Carlsberg, accompanied by Liverpool general manager Rick Parry, which is also an event specially organized by Carlsberg for Yang Yang to win the European Golden Globes.

And this time, Yang Yang also specially wore a commemorative T-shirt specially customized by Adidas for him.

It is said to be a commemorative version, but in fact, it is just to print some celebration sentences about the Golden Globes on ordinary Liverpool custom T-shirts. It may be from Benitez or from Gerald, and there are a total of more than a dozen pieces.

This is also Adidas' usual routine. The next set of commemorative T-shirts will be exclusively sold in Liverpool's fan store.

For any professional club, the main sponsor is the big funder, usually two, jersey sponsor and jersey chest advertising sponsor. Liverpool's jersey was originally Reebok, but after Reebok was acquired by Adidas, it was converted to Adidas. The chest advertising has been Carlsberg for more than ten years.

Although Yang Yang's basketball boot sponsor is Nike, as a Liverpool player, attending Adidas and Carlsberg events is not illegal. After all, the club's sponsor is much larger than the individual sponsor.

Of course, when he attended the event, he wore Nike's sneakers.

Nike sends several pairs of shoes every month, including some running shoes or casual shoes, which are all in the terms of the sponsorship contract. Sometimes even Yang Yang himself cannot understand the specific terms and scope of authority.

For example, when attending Carlsberg event, he wore Adidas' jersey, but Adidas also brought sneakers, but Raiola stopped him and changed into Nike sneakers carried by a fat Italian man.

In Raiola's statement, if you wear Adidas sneakers on such occasions, Nike's phone call will come to take accountability immediately.

Yang Yang was also speechless about this, but then he thought that he won 10 million euros every year, and now he won the European Golden Globe Award and has additional income, so it is normal to do something for him.

Besides, the pair of sneakers under his feet are sold in China for more than 1,000 yuan. Now Nike is free to get it like cabbage, and he has paid so much money, so he is enough.

The only trouble is that he was really exhausted when he participated in various activities for two consecutive days.

He always feels that he is more used to being on training grounds and courts than on these occasions.
